Description

Starting from the Place de l'Europe, this itinerary brings you to the very panoramic and picturesque Croix de Toulouse.

Steep climb on a small road up to Poet Ollagnier.

The ascent gets a lot of sun, it can get really hot in the summer.

The descent is on a beautiful single track, a bit technical but never extreme, demanding full attention at times.

A couple of very tight switchbacks add to the fun.

One of these switchbacks has a drop.

Lots of hikers on the descent trail.

Start early or late to avoid the crowds.
